Chapter 319: Agreement
The usual fifteen-minute journey took over twenty minutes this time, but Shen Yiguang deliberately slowed the car down to consider his little niece’s comfort on the ride to the He family.
"Ah Guang, come in with me." With such a trump card at her disposal, Shen Yidong naturally wanted to use it. Shen Yiguang followed her, curious to see what other grievances the He family might air.
Shen Yiguang had also planned to go in with her. "I’ll come in for a sit and say a few words to your in-laws. If nothing else comes up, you should move back here. Don’t sulk or struggle to speak gently. At the very least, try to look more approachable. Xiao Fen and the others are still He family children, after all. They can’t be so blatantly favored, whether they’re boys or not. I’ll mention this to them. As for splitting the family, don’t bring it up yet. Discuss it with your husband first. You should also look at what you may have done wrong in the past and try to make amends. When I come back next time, if things are still the same, we’ll consider other options."
Shen Yidong nodded her head continuously. With her brother’s support, she felt much more at ease, and her spine straightened considerably.
On the other side, Yang PeiMin had just finished peeling the radishes and went into the room to rest her eyes. Hearing the voices in the courtyard, she got up and went outside, only to find Pan Shuiqin.
It had been a long time since the sisters had seen each other, and by now, her child must have been born.
"Cousin Qin,"
"Oh, Minmin, you’re awake. I was going to come over later." Pan Shuiqin greeted her warmly, grabbing Yang PeiMin’s hand and looking her over. "You look thinner. Are you ’eating for two’ now?"
Yang PeiMin shook her head with a smile and pulled her into the house. "I was planning to visit you tomorrow. What brings you here? Who’s watching Xiao Bao?" Last month, she had had a daughter, as mentioned in a letter from Zhang Minghua.
Pan Shuiqin, probably because she had just finished her postnatal month, seemed a bit plumper in the face, and dressed warmly from head to toe, making it hard to tell if she had gained weight. Yet her face shone with the glow of motherhood, making her especially endearing.
